Hey, there loyal readers! Now I know that I have been writing reviews for the "Sigma Force" series, written by James Rollins, as of late but seeing as how not everyone like those kind of books I decided it was time for a change of pace. So this week I bring you, drumroll please, the "Lake of Sins" series! So I found this intriguing book on amazon for a relatively cheap price and it sounded fairly interesting so I took a gamble and bought the book. I liked it so much I bought the entire series, well all the books that are out anyway, it's still in progress.

Regardless let's get down to business shall we? Today I'm going to be reviewing the first of the Lake of Sins series titled "Lake of Sins: Escape." This brilliant series is written by a fairly new author by the name of L. S. O'dea. These books are specifically aimed towards teenagers so they are a fairly quick read and are about 200 pages or so long. She did well building the suspense and uses just the right amount of description. So that you get what's going on and what the scenery looks like. She also put a handy key in the back so you can keep track of all the characters.

To be honest, I've never been a big fan of post-apocalyptic stories, as they tend to be depressing, but this book really makes me rethink my opinion of such books. The author masterfully grabs your attention and keeps it. "Lake of Sins: Escape" follows a young girl named Trinity who becomes curious as to where the other people who were chosen for something called 'the harvest' went after her friend, Travis, and her brother, Adam, were chosen. Stubborn and brave she fearlessly runs away from the only home she knows and investigates. Meeting friends, foe and monsters alike in her search for the truth.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes post-apocalyptic/ fantasy books similar to Suzanne Collins' "The Hunger Games." I don't want to spoil it so I have three words for you. GO READ IT!
